From the time the Pilgrims arrived on American soil, faith in God played an important part in shaping our nation. Images of Moses adorn the Supreme Court in recognition of the Judeo-Christian origin of our laws. But it was Taxes, loss of Liberty and oppression from a mad king that led our Founding Fathers to write The Declaration of Independence and start The American Revolution. Today, those who stand for these ideals no longer call themselves The Silent Majority because we are silent no more.

The latest TSA security checks have gotten a lot of men and women, including Nuns and young girls, alarmed and humiliated over getting their breasts felt up and their crotches probed. But the extreme measures implemented by the Transportation Security Administration is still no solution to some of the recent attempts to attack the traveling public carried out by Muslim terrorists. We have seen the failed attempts of the Shoe Bomber and the Panty Bomber but earlier this year is was discovered that Islamic terrorists have been experimenting on surgically implanting bombs both in humans and in dogs that would be impossible to detect short of doing a strip search and body cavity exam. And even if the plan was to explode an airliner during flight it wouldn't be necessary to smuggle a bomb inside a human body. They have already tried to do it with dogs.

The NY Post carried this story on their web site on November 7, 2010. Click the link to read the rest:

(CBS) Al Qaeda has developed a new tactic that allows suicide bombers to breach even the tightest security, as CBS News correspondent Sheila MacVicar reports.

Inside a Saudi palace, the scene was the bloody aftermath of an al Qaeda attack in August aimed at killing Prince Mohammed Bin Nayef, head of Saudi Arabia's counter terrorism operations.

To get his bomb into this room, Abdullah Asieri, one of Saudi Arabia's most wanted men, avoided detection by two sets of airport security including metal detectors and palace security. He spent 30 hours in the close company of the prince's own secret service agents - all without anyone suspecting a thing.

How did he do it?

Taking a trick from the narcotics trade - which has long smuggled drugs in body cavities - Asieri had a pound of high explosives, plus a detonator inserted in his rectum.

Ann Coulter has, once again, hit the nail on the head. In one of her latest columns she pointed out the obvious to anyone who hasn't been burying their heads in the sand: “All the terrorists have some things in common – they look alike, most are foreign born, all are of a certain age group, and ALL ARE MUSLIM.”

So why don’t we have profiling to check for terrorists? They do it in Israel and with great success. Here is a video of Ann Coulter discussing her point with Bill O’Reilly on Fox News.

It is time for Americans to tell the government that enough is enough. All of these security measures have been instituted as a result of some action caused by a Muslim terrorist. It must be emphasized that the terrorists were Muslim because they themselves have proclaimed their acts to be done in the name of Islam. There hasn't ever been a Christian bomber or a Jewish bomber, they are ALL Muslims. So it makes complete sense to profile this group and institute security checks that apply to them only. Some have suggested that we ban Arabs and Muslims and anyone with an Arab or Muslim name from flying on any U.S. airline. Some countries like Canada have gone to the other extreme and exempted Muslim women who are wearing full body garments called burqas and hijabs from even getting any type of scan or pat down because of their religious sensibilities. This is the height of stupidity and has only come about because of political correctness.
